ALT-CONTROL-TAB Component V 1.0

This is a very simple expert based on BufferList sample from Borland Delphi, that allows you to switch between open files by pressing Alt-Ctrl-Tab, on a similar way that Alt-tab switches between open applications on windows.

Pressing ctrl-alt-tab will open a form with icons for all your open files, ordered by the last time you looked at them. If you keep pressing tab without releasing ctrl-tab, it will move between the icons. When you release alt-ctrl, you will be on the selected doc. 

It is specially useful when you are working on a file and the debugger opens a new one (on a very distant tab). Pressing ctrl-alt-tab will send you back to your file.

The code is only tested on D7, but it is not complex and should be easy to compile on D5 and 6.

HOW TO USE:
  1) On the Delphi IDE goto File->Open and select AltTab.dpk.
  2) Press Install.
  3) This should be all! Now by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Tab you can switch between your open files. 

If you type too many tabs, pressing any other key except Tab while still holding ctrl-Alt will go back one document, pressing Tab will go forward. 

This is free software, and I couldn't care less what you do with the code. I created it some months ago because I wanted a "fancier" ctrl-b. With time I got really used to it, so I decided to share it with you, it might be useful to you too. But understand that there is no guarantee that it will work for you or anything. If it doesn't just don't use it.

Don't have many time to support it, so if you want to do any improvements feel free to do so. Of course I would love to have an email with the modified source, but I leave this up to you.
